Attorney profiles

 

 

Exceptionally Well-Qualified

Our attorneys are meticulously qualified. 90% of our lawyers are 10+ year legal veterans, with several practicing law for 20-30+ years.

Here is why that’s important: our clients work with only top-rated, experienced attorneys and support staff. We do not operate a ‘two-tier’ system, where clients pay partner rates, but an inexperienced attorney works up the case. We provide only proven legal talent in all positions which increases efficiency and our exclusive intellectual property. Efficiency allows us to provide the best value for our clients’ legal investment.

Notable Recognition

  1. Martindale-Hubbell “Preeminent” Law Firm Status
  2. Martindale-Hubbell Ratings of “AV” and higher for eligible members
  3. Recognition by The Daily Journal for superb jury verdicts
  4. Recognition by Law & Politics and Super Lawyers for outstanding lawyers
  5. Judges Pro Tempore
  6. Certified Arbitrators
  7. Legal, Industry & Keynote Speakers
